Haven't seen this since I was a kid and I can still hear it

Back in the days where you had to stay up late to watch the good stuff on late night TV.

Still a mindfuck that we are 20 years past the punchline of this joke...

Funniest thing in my opinion was that they continued doing it long after 2000 passed.

I know it feels good to believe that but no, we were not better than having dim jokes. Hell, most of my favorite jokes are dumb as hell
